FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller issued a statement via the L.A. County Sheriff's Department saying Miramonte is a matter for local law enforcement. She says after looking into it, the FBI decided to keep it local for now:

At this time, prosecution is being pursued solely by the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office and the investigative agency is the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.

Claypool, who is representing 11 children and their families in civil suits against the L.A. Unified School District, sent a letter to President Obama asking for federal intervention.

Subsequently, he says, the FBI's Crimes Against Children Unit expressed interest in launching an investigation.

After Miramonte hit the front page, the entire staff was transferred away from the school.

Wow. This must be big news, because Los Angeles School Police Department Chief Steven Zipperman, a guy we did not know previously existed, was compelled to issue a statement as well:

The health and welfare of the entire Los Angeles Unified School District family is our foremost motivation. The District has willingly and actively participated in all investigations. Although we are unaware of any federal investigation at this time, we are committed to cooperating and working with any investigative body that can help the District in its ongoing efforts to ensure we provide the safest learning and working environment for our community.
